Investment Funds at RBGLP: Financing Positive Change Across the Globe

At Reagan Blankfein Gates Legal Practitioners (RBGLP), we are dedicated to bridging the gap between visionary changemakers and the capital required to realise transformative social and environmental outcomes.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to unite those with the vision to address global challenges with the institutional capital needed to implement meaningful and lasting solutions.

The Issue

Over the next decade, trillions of dollars must be mobilised to tackle the world’s most urgent environmental and social issues. Unlocking this institutional capital is essential to closing the funding gap and achieving global development goals.

Impact funds are at the forefront of this endeavour. These funds aim to deliver measurable positive social and environmental impacts alongside financial returns, investing across diverse asset classes such as:

• Microfinance
• Clean technology
• Education

Despite their potential, challenges remain. Measuring and verifying the success of impact funds is complex, with varying frameworks and legislation creating significant hurdles. Fund managers must not only deliver on their impact claims but also provide transparency to investors.

What We Do

RBGLP brings a unique, balanced perspective to the investment funds market by advising both fund managers and investors. Our deep expertise ensures tailored solutions that align with the interests of all parties while navigating regulatory landscapes and addressing operational complexities.

How We Help Institutional and Other Investors

Impact funds often involve intricate layers of regulatory, reputational, and operational considerations. At RBGLP, we provide:

• Strategic Guidance: Helping investors understand the unique attributes of impact funds, including ESG compliance risks.
• Reputation Management: Mitigating long-term reputational damage linked to ESG failings, which often have far-reaching consequences beyond financial losses.

How We Help First-Time Fund Managers

For first-time managers, raising a fund can be both daunting and exciting. Our expertise lies in:

• Navigating Fund Terms: Providing clear, pragmatic advice on negotiable terms and market standards.
• Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring managers adhere to complex regulatory frameworks while staying focused on their investment objectives.
• Honest and Commercial Advice: Offering insights that are grounded in practicality rather than simply what clients wish to hear.

How We Help Experienced Fund Managers

With ESG compliance now a critical expectation, experienced managers must rise to higher standards. We assist by:

• ESG Policy Development: Strengthening and refining ESG policies to meet investor expectations.
• Impact Product Design: Advising on the nuances of launching impact-focused products, which often involve different market terms and operational frameworks compared to non-impact funds.
• Adaptability: Helping managers remain agile amidst the ever-evolving regulatory and investor landscapes.
